It’s kind of sad and scary to think that footage is being recorded today that will be used in future documentaries telling the story of the America’s decline into fascism.

Resisters call in sick on 3/19/25. Truckers, bus and train drivers, unions, air traffic controllers, pilots, cabbies, IT, manufacturing, etc. Please stay home as long as possible. This action will help to get our message against tyranny out and show the world we won’t allow this takeover.
Because they live in the moment. Even some democrats fall into that trap. They look at the election, they forget everything they believe in and just go for everything they believe will help them win.
Tonight Bluesky has given me a weird eye twitch!!! My body doesn’t know what to do with all of this horrible information. Arlington Cemetary, the Statue of Liberty, Yemen, projected deaths from USAID cancellations…
Are you guys afraid the orange asshole is just going to start bombing Canada?! He’s bombing Yemen. Our military needs to remember they serve the constitution!!
I just noticed you guys are Canadians. I can’t even imagine what you must think of us!! I have helped form a protest group in my city and we protest 4-5 times a week. We are trying to think of everything we can do to fight but so many Americans are in TOTAL DENIAL!! It’s infuriating!!
We see you.
And we know that the population is split.
(And that even some of his supporters are getting queasy).
I wish there was an easy fix, but there isn't.
Not now.
They've been sleepwalking towards this nightmare for almost 10 years. I started screaming at my TV in 2016.
Meanwhile, an alarming number of people were absolutely loving what they were seeing.
Trump is doing to his own people what previous US Presidents did to people overseas.
Trump is not defending democracy or an ideology, he's just defending himself and his rich racist friends.
It's a coup of c***s.
Ulysses S. Grant & George Washingtom erased from history.
The South won. Slavery is cool again.
At $7.25/hour it's cheaper than feeding, housing and providing health care to protect your investment.
It's getting harder to get out of bed in the morning
Sadly not everyone was arrested on Jan 6th and many who were there are now denying that they participated in the Trump nonsense of that day. It has started. We don’t need to wait 10 more years. 😳
We are not hopeless.
We have full access to the mass communication source for the first time in history.
We supply the new commodity, data.
If we can just get rid of the programming memes distracting us from a solution.
Elected Dems approval rating, 29%, Trump/Musk approval rating, 49%. The GOP is screwing over everyone, physical action beats Dems flapping their lips by a mile. GET OFF YOUR ASS and do something. The mid-terms are not the answer, we will get hammered. Start throwing punches or just stay home
We have to act instead of keeping our complaints to our mouths, the fascists will only gradually stalk this democracy, what do you think should be done next to have a better effect of resistance?
As individuals we have very little power, we elect a person and give them our power. Unfortunately, they seem to think that doing something physical is standing in front of a microphone flapping their lips. If you look on the right, they are winning because they are physically doing something.
Yes useless action is the biggest problem, but many people are confused about action, I think we should act get together and act and try to get this evil dictator out of power, the problem of cult of the individual is the hardest to solve, China and the Soviet Union have proved it
I’m know! Can’t wait for that discussion with my grandchildren. 😕. It is motivation to do better so at least I can show them an example of resilience. Silver lining? 🤷🏻♀️😁
If we remain indifferent today, then this may become a scene recorded in the history of future generations, let's focus on pushing this fascist dictator out of power
I’m gonna wait for the sequel where Americans grow a pair and take back their government and build a very special prison for those that chose fascism in a democracy .
In a couple of years (if we're still here) we'll see the details come out about how troll armies successfully pitted Dems against each other and destroyed the party.
Yes, and the "cheerleaders" will whip their followers up into a howling frenzy, then post something from a different angle and do the same thing again, etc. etc. over and over. Milking the crowd reaction. It's very Trumplike.
Agreed. A LOT will be revealed including, but not limited to, the successful voter denials or outright pillaging of legitimate votes to help "t" win. Dem no-show voters did damage as well. That will not happen, again.
You will have a strong legacy of fighting for more than eight years now against Trumpism. Your children and grandchildren won’t be ashamed of their ancestor.
I’ve been watching the “Turning Point” documentary on Netflix and thinking the same thing. Excellent show BTW, even for someone like me who is not a big history buff.
Check out "Bad Faith" and "God & Country". Both are on Prime but if you're boycotting, "Bad Faith" is on Tubi & YouTube. Great docs on Christian Nationalism.
I feel confident that our Democracy will withstand this serial failure of man. He may want to be like hitler but hitler and putin never had to take down a mature (albeit imperfect) democracy.
Senators—Democrat, Republican, and Independent—Trump is dismantling our Republic to serve Putin's goals. Confirming unfit Cabinet members only aids him. Putin wants Alaska, Eastern Europe, and Greenland. Save our Republic. Stop Trump.
It’s also more scary that footage being posted today will be used to blacklist people. You won’t get that job. Think about it. Everyone needs to be wearing masks. They need to arrest everyone. Grandmothers in handcuffs. It’s the only way to stop this.
only the winner gets to tell that story. Supposing they win. ‘How The Don beat the mind virus and saved America.’ No Zinn in the library. No one dares to say boo. Fascist militias of different hues have guns fights every few years, that’s politics as the world burns
How about this instead…It’s kind of Awesome to think that footage is being recorded today that will be used in future documentaries telling the story of the America’s fight and victory against fascism.
"America's decline into..." Ya don't think you're there? With the last of the Dems caving on the CR... That's a "fait accompli"; there's no turning back now, no matter how much the media says it's "possible"
Yeah and future generations can watch their relatives in their maga hats cheering it on as it burns to the ground. Oh well, you had a good run I guess?
It's not there yet. Let's not let it happen. The machine must be stopped. People need to storm Wall Street, Banks, Federal Offices Nation wide!! Cripple the money machine and they have nothing! We are Legion, they are few!
... and the fact that we (well not me personally) welcomed it ourselves as a nation! The Land of the Free chose to be not free because apparently fascism is better than being led by an intelligent and articulate black woman who promoted middle class ideals and a fair taxation system! Duh.....
Since MSM is failing to accurately report the facts, either out of fear or culpability, I doubt there will be any footage that accurately reflects the decline. None are covering the protests happening across the country. None are reporting the lack of guardrails. It’s just fluff now! SMDH!
Not so sad.
The USA needs a lot more of this. An excruciating amount of this. All day, everywhere. It seems to be the only way some people learn down there; acquiring knowledge and skills through active participation and hands-on experiences. It's Find Out time.
What a horrible attitude.
Those who voted Trump largely refuse to change even when personally impacted by his cruelty.
Those who refused to vote for democrats will continue to blame them and learn nothing.
Those who voted democrat are the ones suffering.
Funny, I often wonder if there will come a day when we sit and watch a docu-series about this era and think, "Yeah, I remember that. That was fucked UP". (Like we do with 9/11, JFK etc). Or will we all be so far gone, this nightmare will be sane-washed by the documentarians.
Too true. I think about how we truly understood the horrors & atrocities of life in Nazi Germany during WWII & what they were doing in the Camps thanks to the film secretly captured by dissidents as well as what the Reich themselves recorded... I wonder who will study our own awful video & reports.
Democracy ends when the free press is no longer able to publish objective information without fear of reprisal; when political opposition is being silenced or prosecuted; and when the governing party can act without a judicial branch enforcing the law to protect citizens. All are happening.
Only the victor writes the history. That will determine whether America's decline into fascism and oligarchy is recorded as a wonderful event, or a catastrophic one!
With 90 mill eligble voters not caring enough to even cast a vote I'd say there's no reason to contest it. Upside for them is they probably don't have to think about voting again. Ever.
But there were as many as a few million that we know were directly suppressed or had their ballots thrown out, so... it would have been more than enough.
True that that's no excuse for so many not turning up in force, though.
Not necessarily
Don’t assume 300 million people roll over to a small set of people
Besides, the top guy is just 10 thousand cockroaches wearing fake human skin
On the contrary, consider today’s recorded footage as a testament to resilience, activism, and the continuous fight for the defense of America's democracy. These recordings have the potential not only to inform but also to inspire positivity in the hearts of future U.S. generations
The Reagan Show documentary has been available since about 2018-19 and it is composed entirely of raw footage showing horrendous stuff from the 80s with zero reenactments or commentary other than editing. Some previously never seen by the public that was in archives.
It’s sadder that the footage that is being taken will be used to disappear people because they were in public with a sign. Letting your voice be heard is good. Being arrested, or worse, for holding a sign is beyond cruel and evil. 😳
Please don't be so dark and defeatist. It will be part of documentaries that present a cautionary tale about how the country almost descended into full fascism, but then people rose up and AMERICA prevailed.

Nobody has given you permission?
We are stronger and braver than we think. Speak up.
1) Minimizing/rationalizing how bad this all really is because they are drunk on power or;
2) There is serious Kompramat and/or financial threats against them.
Or both.
Nothing else makes sense.
My eye has been twitching for 7 weeks.
And we know that the population is split.
(And that even some of his supporters are getting queasy).

Not now.
This is going to suck.
Meanwhile, an alarming number of people were absolutely loving what they were seeing.
So here we are.
As if said, we need Eddie Murphy’s mother from “Delirious.”

Answer: Trying to figure out where best to put my efforts & keep a roof over my head. Help others.
I think Chuck Schumer may be part of that story.
"Didn't they read....?"

If anything, we will be back to drawing on cave walls and telling history to grandchildren around log fires.
Sorry, no colour documentaries.
